Inspired by the plains zebras, Zavier's bold black and white stripes make him an individual and striking zebra. The main head is knitted in stocking stitch starting with ear flaps and decreasing to shape the crown. Stranded knitting is used throughout the pattern. The features are knitted separately, sewn together then attached to the head. The snout is stuffed with toy stuffing which together with Zavier's striped ears gives a fantastic 3D effect. Zavier is finished with his eyes, eyelids and a super stripy mane.
